August 4, 201412 yr I've heard some of the same about the NKY councils. I figured on doing some that research before joining. Let me know what you find in your research, as I'm interfered as well.
August 4, 201412 yr I've heard some of the same about the NKY councils. I figured on doing some that research before joining. The Holy Innocents Council is probably the most conservative/orthodox council I believe. For some people that is a negative, others a positive. Depends on what you are looking for. On the other end, one of the councils has the reputation of just being a social club that is Catholic in name only. Forget which one that is.

Wow, there are TEN different councils in Louisville! Then there are still a few more if you count the councils in J-Town, Prospect, LaGrange and Pewee Valley. Council #2761 Bishop Spalding Council #4473 Assumption Council #4665 Monsignor Joseph Newman Council #5634 Pope John XXIII Council #10682 Saint Louis Bertrand Council #12562 Holy Innocents Council #14471 Monsignor William McKune Council #15699 St. Gabriel Council #15931 Ave Maria Council #15979 St. Margaret Mary
August 4, 201412 yr ..... You know how you can know one person in a group or affiliation and it can ruin that entire group (completely unfairly) for you? That is me and the K of C.

August 5, 201412 yr The KofC's in Louisville all have different personalities I am told so I would do a little background research before joining and not just join one just because it is nearby if that makes sense. Louisville has a few of what they call "Roundtables", which is a Knights of Columbus Council that has membership focused on several Catholic Churches. In less urban areas a Knights of Columbus Council will more likely be very closely associated with a specific Catholic church parish. A catholic man is always welcome to become a member of whichever Council they choose.
August 5, 201412 yr On the other end, one of the councils has the reputation of just being a social club that is Catholic in name only. Forget which one that is. I believe the Spalding Council is the one that has the hall on River Road. Really nice facility. I've heard that one runs heavy to the social side. Huge council by Louisville standards. Many more members than any other council.
August 5, 201412 yr Man #1: "Did you hear that elks have sex 5 to 10 times a day?" Man #2: "Darn, I just joined the Knights of Columbus."
August 7, 201412 yr I am a 3rd degree in Frankfort. I am one of the worst KOC of all time probably. We changed parishes when we moved last year, and I am not nearly as active as I should be in the new parish (understatement).:no: Is there a shame emoticon?
August 8, 201412 yr I believe the Spalding Council is the one that has the hall on River Road. Really nice facility. I've heard that one runs heavy to the social side. Huge council by Louisville standards. Many more members than any other council. I think the social club aspect is better now than it once was. I spent much of my youth there. My father is a past Grand Knight of Bishop Spalding and was one of many at that council who was upset with the "boat club" that was starting to take over so they split off and founded the one at St. Louid Bertrand. My family has a bit of a history with those two councils. Most of my vacations as a kid were spent at state or national conventions with the KofC. Looking back on my life I could have really exploited my connections with the folks at Bishop Spalding had I had half an inkling.
August 13, 201412 yr Author I become a first degree knight tomorrow evening. Anyone know what happens or what I have to do? "Thankyou sir may I have another?"
August 13, 201412 yr I become a first degree knight tomorrow evening. Anyone know what happens or what I have to do? "Thankyou sir may I have another?" It can't be written or publicly communicated. But don't worry.
August 13, 201412 yr I become a first degree knight tomorrow evening. Anyone know what happens or what I have to do? "Thankyou sir may I have another?" I think you also get blindfolded and have to dip your hand in a bucket of "eyeballs and innards" disguised as spaghetti and meatballs.
August 15, 201412 yr Author It was an interesting night yesterday for sure but glad I joined. A good group of guys and looking forward to my future with the knights.
